Blinded By Dragons

A beautiful blindfold can make a woman feel very feminine and sexy enough to be like a tiger instead of a kitten. This is a very comfortable and soft blindfold that won't completely block out all light but will block your vision. The two elastics allow you to control the fit and amount of pressure it puts over the eyes. This blindfold won't interfere with breathing as it fits easily over the bridge of the nose.

Pros:

Well made, quality construction, form fitting but not heavy or tight, beautiful dragons

We are building our toy box of bondage gear and I like to keep it light and not intimidating. This blindfold fits the criteria perfectly.

The blindfold is made of soft, black polyester material that is padded and has two lovely pink dragons on the front. The dragons are screen printed onto the fabric on either side of the front of the blindfold. The total length of the blindfold is 7 inches with a width of 3.5 inches. It is fairly small but covers even my guy's larger faces easily and almost completely blocks out the light. The nose cut out is deep enough that it fits without restricting breathing but it does let a bit of light seep in. I don't mind this feature as I have fairly hesitant playmates who appreciate feeling like they aren't completely blind.

The elastic that holds the blindfold in place is bright pink and thin. There are two bands that can be spread apart on the back of the head to lessen the pressure of the blindfold on the eyes. I put a couple of stitches into the area where the elastics attach to the blindfold as a precaution but they didn't come loose with my gentle tugging and trying it on before I added the stitches. With the precaution I can rest assured that even if I use this on my guys it won't come undone.

There is a strip of bias binding that finishes the edges of the blindfold and guarantees that it won't ravel and fray. The stitching is even and well supported, though I did find a few long strings it was easy to simply clip them. The silk screening is well done and the edges of the dragon 'tattoo' are fully bonded with the fabric, this blindfold will last a long time with gentle care.

The Tattoo blindfold can be hand washed in cold water with very mild detergent, and then allowed to air dry. The silk screening of the dragons might not hold up to the twisting and stretching that a washing machine can inflict. It also may not hold up to the heat of a dryer along with the pulling and stretching of a dryer. Hung up with a lingerie hanger it will dry without problems.

Should the stitching come out around the blindfold it would be very easy to restitch it with a machine or buy some iron on seam sealer and fix it that way. The blindfold is part of a set that includes wrist and ankle cuffs.

The blindfold arrives folded in half and wrapped in a plastic bag. The plastic bag is kept secure and clean in a box that is fairly large for what's inside. The box is fairly discreet picturing the blindfold on the face of a lovely blonde woman and the logo of the product most prominent. You could store the blindfold in the box if space isn't an issue for you, but it can also slip inside a lingerie drawer easily. This is a very discreet little toy as well as it can be explained as a sleep aid!

Experience

The blindfold is soft, comfortable and non-threatening. It doesn't offer much pressure over the eyes which I particularly appreciate but some might desire that pressure and find it calming. It doesn't completely block out all light but it does a good job of blocking vision. For more timid players this feature is reassuring while still allowing them to enjoy sensory play. The elastic is stretchy but over time will stretch out of shape, especially if used on a variety of players. It's easy to buy and attach new elastics making this a long lasting, comfortable blindfold. It's also very cute and girly making it special for the lovely lady in your life or a special bit of humiliation for the macho guy in your life!

Follow-up commentaryI still like it6 months after original review

I was initially concerned that the silk screening wouldn't hold up to repeated use on this lovely blindfold, turns out I needn't have been concerned. I haven't seen any cracking or peeling and the bands in the back are still firmly attached. After gently washing the blindfold I left it to dry on a flat surface. In a few hours it was a beautiful as when I took it out of the package.

I've seen most of the set including the few vibes. I would love the ankle and wrist cuffs and i'll probably pick those up just cause they are cute and non-threatening.

This review seems a little too titled like "Blinded by Devotion." Were you trying to copy?

Anyway, I think these are neat-I just wish there was more detail on them. And that was a fantastic review, by the way!

What a nasty little comment to make! I happened to have mentored Sera on her "Blinded By Devotion' review and it is an amazng review. If my title causes someone to read her review then wonderful!
My title has to do with the fact that this is a blindfold with dragons pictured on it, which I would have thought would be evident but apparently not. By the way titles are not considered copyrighted, several books have been written with the same title or with some words changed.
Let's consider this an homage to my student and her wonderful review and drop the snarky attitude, shall we?

Midway through

Blinded by (insert word) is extremely common. So I'll have to agree, that was uncalled for. Do a google search on that and you'll find thousands of things popping up. It's a common title for more than just reviews.
